Importers of Aluminum Collapsible Tubular Containers (Not Over 300 Liters) paid $1.2M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 50% on $2.3M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataCollapsible aluminum tubes — the classic format for toothpaste, pharmaceuticals, adhesives, and specialty cosmetics — are classified here when capacity does not exceed 300 liters, though in practice these are small-unit consumer and industrial packaging items. India is the leading US supplier, followed by Germany and Canada. Because these containers frequently hold drug, cosmetic, or food products, the contents rather than the container itself may trigger FDA review at entry, but the empty container import is classified purely as an aluminum packaging article.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Empty aluminum collapsible tubes imported as packaging components are not themselves subject to FDA admissibility review — they are classified as aluminum articles. However, if tubes are imported pre-filled with a drug, cosmetic, or food product, the contents trigger the applicable FDA regulatory pathway. Importers of empty tubes should ensure the entry clearly reflects the unfilled status to avoid unnecessary holds.
The key classification factor is whether the tube is collapsible (designed to be squeezed to dispense contents) versus a rigid container. Collapsible tubes fall under 761210, while rigid aluminum cans and containers of similar small capacity fall under 761290. Wall thickness, alloy temper, and the presence of a threaded or crimped closure are the technical details customs authorities may examine to confirm the collapsible character.
